An Even Playing Field

At age 2, Amie Day sustained a spinal cord injury that left her paralyzed from the waist down as the result of a car accident. Discovering wheelchair racing at 12 gave her a sense of purpose and freedom. Starting with Great Lakes Adaptive Sports Association, or GLASA, Amie quickly rose through the ranks winning multiple medals at the 1998 and 1999 World Games. She would then compete for Team USA at the 2000 Paralympic Games in Sydney at just 17 years old. Amie now serves as a para track coach and lifelong advocate for adaptive athletics.
